Mazda MAZDA6 vs. Kia Amanti Review

Utility
Neither the Kia nor the Mazda MAZDA6 has a marked advantage with respect to seating capacity.

Dimensions
The MAZDA6 and the Kia Amanti compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
The Kia's fuel tank will need to be replenished a tad more often than the unit in the Mazda MAZDA6.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Mazda MAZDA6 to the dealership as the Kia Amanti. With respect to fuel economy, the Mazda MAZDA6 is somewhat better than the Kia Amanti, but not by much. The Mazda MAZDA6 isn't much less costly than the Kia Amanti as far as MSRP.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Mazda and the Amanti likely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Mazda's engine is significantly smaller than the Kia Amanti's. Remember that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; however, smaller engines typically get better gas mileage. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the Kia is tremendously more powerful than the Mazda MAZDA6. The Mazda MAZDA6 could learn a lesson or two from the Kia when it comes to pickup.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Kia Amanti offers a bit more head room than the Mazda MAZDA6, there really isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Mazda MAZDA6 offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the Kia Amanti, there honestly isn't much of a difference.

Overview
The basic warranty that comes with the Mazda MAZDA6 isn't quite as generous as the Kia's.
